The thermodynamics for regular black holes (RBHs) is considered
under the restricted phase space (RPS) formalism.
It is shown that the RPS formalism seems to hold for RBHs,
however, in order for the extensive thermodynamic parameters to be
independent from each other, the RBHs need to be viewed as intermediate
thermodynamic states in a larger class of black holes (BHs) which
admit both regular and singular states. This idea is checked for
several classes of BHs. In particular, for the electrically
charged Hayward class BHs, it is shown that the regular states
can either be thermodynamically stable or unstable, depending on
the amount of charges carried by the BHs. The quasinormal
frequencies for the Hayward class BHs are also analyzed,
and it turns out that, even for the thermodynamically unstable
regular states, the dynamic stability still holds, at least under
massless scalar perturbations.
